  • public — the certificate in PEM format, and the subject is built from the $cn you passed in 🎀
  • private — the private key in PEM format, optionnaly (their spelling, love that for them ✨) encrypted with the supplied $password
  • hash — a unique identifier for the key 🔑

genEcKey($curve_name)

this one generates an ECDSA key pair and returns a hashref containing:

  • public — public key in PEM format 🌈
  • private — private key in PEM format 🦋
  • hash — a unique identifier for the key 🔑

genRsaKey($key_len, $password)
